Bibby Hydromap's DriX Completes Trials
echosounder, the system was able to acquire unprecedentedly clean bathymetry at speeds greater than 8 knots, remaining on the intended survey line in cross-tides in excess of 1.5 knots.With a unique hydrodynamic gondola housing the payload DriX, has been designed to dramatically reduce the amount of aeration around the multibeam echosounder. During the trials, a significant improvement was realized when compared to the conventional deployment methods seen with the majority of vessel mounted multibeam echosounder systems
Robots Restore Waterways While Producing Synfuel
for mosquitoes to breed and spread disease. Locations where algae blooms and pond scum form choke out oxygen levels, killing fish and other forms of life essential to the ecosystem. Benefits that the Manatee can provide the environment include reduction in duckweed, algae and mosquito larvae, aeration of water (thereby reducing foul odors), returned vital nutrients into waterways, fish and shellfish can return to waterways, and fishermen and boaters can enjoy more areas to explore. Capable of making fuel from any body of water with at least 100ppm of organic matter, the Manatee
